Did you you check the meassurements of both shells? 105 mm is the correct value. There was no german gun in 100 mm at this time. The name of the gun was 10 cm Kanone but real caliber is 105 mm. Thickest part below the ogive must be 104,6 mm, base diameter is 103,7 mm. Allowed production tolerances in diameter should be a few 1/100 mm.
Yes ... they were measured multiple times ... plus the documentation stated 100MM. I have seen 100MM rounds before, so I didn't think it was unusual. I will look again and see what I can dig up.
Something else on this item ... the documentation states it is from 1918. Not sure if this helps. Also, the guy on that trip is a crazy OCD type. I would question others but he is nuts when it comes to specifics. So I am pretty sure it is 105.
